The reason this sucks is that scsi_normalize_sense() is an inherent core feature in the SCSI layer. Dealing with sense data for ioctls is just a fringe use case. I don't want to get too hung up on what goes where. But architecturally it really irks me to move a core piece of SCSI state machine functionality out of the subsystem to accommodate ioctl handling. I'm traveling today so I probably won't get a chance to look closely until tomorrow morning. -- Martin K. Petersen Oracle Linux Engineering
